The Acura TL is a very nice car and feels like quality inside. It's also a good looking car from outside. The one down side is that this year and several other years had a very bad transmission. Some of the years had a recall. For the 2001, Acura backed it up with a warranty up to 170K, not sure how many years. Thankfully mine went at 145K and was replaced for free. I also didn't like that it used premium gas. We bought an Accord EX after and it was actually even nicer than the TL with more features. Before you buy one, check out the Accord.

This is one of the best cars for the price in terms of fit and trim, beautiful leather interior, very nicely equipped as well as reliability and wow is it quick. I find the ride a little stiff for my liking although has great handling with the 17in wheels. The gas pedal is too touchy and I prefer more gentle acceleration. Overall, a great car.
